Mixing Rates of Random Walks with Little Backtracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many regular graphs admit a natural partition of their edge set into cliques of the same order such that each vertex is contained in the same number of cliques. In this paper, we study the mixing rate of certain random walks on such graphs and we generalize previous results of Alon, Benjamini, Lubetzky and Sodin regarding the mixing rates of non-backtracking random walks on regular graphs.

Non-Backtracking Random Walks and a Weighted Ihara’s Theorem
We study the mixing rate of non-backtracking random walks on graphs by looking at non-backtracking walks as walks on the directed edges of a graph. A result known as Ihara’s Theorem relates the adjacency matrix of a graph to a matrix related to non-backtracking walks on the directed edges. We prove a weighted version of Ihara’s Theorem which relates the transition probability matrix of a non-ba...
متن کاملNon-backtracking random walks mix faster
We compute the mixing rate of a non-backtracking random walk on a regular expander. Using some properties of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, we show that this rate may be up to twice as fast as the mixing rate of the simple random walk. The closer the expander is to a Ramanujan graph, the higher the ratio between the above two mixing rates is. As an application, we show that if G is a...
متن کاملCutoff Phenomena for Random Walks on Random Regular Graphs
The cutoff phenomenon describes a sharp transition in the convergence of a family of ergodic finite Markov chains to equilibrium. Many natural families of chains are believed to exhibit cutoff, and yet establishing this fact is often extremely challenging. An important such family of chains is the random walk on G(n, d), a random d-regular graph on n vertices. It is well known that the spectral...
متن کاملFaster Clustering via Non-Backtracking Random Walks
This paper presents VEC-NBT, a variation on the unsupervised graph clustering technique VEC, which improves upon the performance of the original algorithm significantly for sparse graphs. VEC employs a novel application of the state-ofthe-art word2vec model to embed a graph in Euclidean space via random walks on the nodes of the graph. In VEC-NBT, we modify the original algorithm to use a non-b...
متن کاملNon-Backtracking Centrality Based Random Walk on Networks
Random walks are a fundamental tool for analyzing realistic complex networked systems and implementing randomized algorithms to solve diverse problems such as searching and sampling. For many real applications, their actual effect and convenience depend on the properties (e.g. stationary distribution and hitting time) of random walks, with biased random walks often outperforming traditional unb...
